I'm confused as to how this is a problem

2013 harvest is the problem.

I see a bunch of DIPAs in your near future.

Seriously though, if you need to get rid of some, find some local homebrewers and strike some deals. You have some hops guys are looking for: citra, amarillo, simcoe.

Or just keep them. If they have been in the freezer they are fine. Try to show some restraint when new harvest comes.

Ha! I am just as bad.

Order less this year. You can still use your 2012's into next year. I ordered too much of the 2011's, and I've pretty much only brewed with them this year.

Already in the works. I'm working with 2 other brewers to get a collaboration IPA built. I got in on the 17+24 gal SS kettle pack ($70) from a month or 2 ago (sold the 17 for $50), so I've got a 24 gal that'll work perfect for a nice 15-20 gal batch.

Yes, LOTS of IPAs, Barleywines, Red Ales, and more in the future.


As for ordering less this year, I know! I think I musta gotten drunk and blacked out during the entire 2012 harvest season. I don't know what happened!

I'm slowly becoming a hop head i have officially come out of the closet.

2nd dry hop is goin down as i type. So far my belgian tripel with a healthy dose of hops as well as dry hopped is my new favorite.
